Lesson
Taf-shaluu
–
(you falter, be faded), this word has been derived from fashala. Fashala means “to become lazy, to feel weakness, to show
cowardice”.
It has been described in this verse that the help of God
Almighty comes at that time when a man shows courage, face the difficulties
with steady and stability. You should remember Allah Almighty. Those people who
are slack and good for nothing, impatient, nervous during intricacies and
bewailing, they are not able to be helped by God Almighty. Those individuals,
who have forgotten their Lord, are deprived of His particular help.
It is commanded that holding firm in
front of the enemy is necessary for the Believers. Islam does not want to fight
unnecessarily. It is a Message of Peace for the world. At first, It explained
those common principle for the human beings, by accepting and adopting which,
every individual and group of the world can live peacefully and even keep
others living.
First object of Islam is to
establish peace and safety for all mankind, but if wicked doers do not abstain
from their mischief, there is no other form of removing corruption and mischief
except fight, then it is compulsory for the Muslims that they must show utmost
steady and stability, and remember Allah Almighty every time.
They should be ready to obey
wholeheartedly the commands of God Almighty and His Beloved Messenger (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), dismiss entirely their disputes with
one another. Mutual disputes make the nation certainly weak and their strength
departs from them. Humiliation and disgrace is obtained by them.
Afterwards, it is incumbent for them
that they should never be confounded from troubles and hardships, be steadfast
and stand still in front of difficulties like the mountain. God Almighty is
with the steadfast, grateful and courageous Believers. He helps them at every
step.
